<p>Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) <a href="http://huelskamp.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/huelskamp-supports-impeachment-of-attorney-general-and-issues-support-to">said</a> this week that he will join efforts to impeach of Attorney General Eric Holder over his stance on marriage equality, citing a <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/owens-holder-shredded-constitution-order-impose-radical-homosexual-agenda">petition by the Coalition of African-American Pastors</a> and accusing Holder of trying to &ldquo;thwart&rdquo; the Constitution by not defending the Defense of Marriage Act.</p>
<p>Of course, the Obama administration would be <a href="http://mediamatters.org/research/2011/02/25/a-form-of-dictatorship-conservative-media-dubio/176920">far from the first</a> administration to decline to defend an unconstitutional law, with Republicans and Democrats alike doing the same in the past.</p>
<p>Several Republicans have already proposed a <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/113/hres411/text">resolution</a> seeking Holder&rsquo;s impeachment.</p>
<blockquote>
&ldquo;More lawlessness from a lawless administration; Attorney General Holder should not advise other attorneys general to violate their oaths of office. These elected officials have a duty and a solemn obligation to defend their states&rsquo; laws and Constitution - not allow ideology and politics to cloud their legal decisions. Whatever one&rsquo;s personal opinions on the Second Amendment, the Internal Revenue Service, controlled substances, the freedom of the press, or even marriage, an Attorney General simply can&rsquo;t pick and choose the laws or parts of the Constitution he or she would like to defend.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;In recent years, I have grown increasingly concerned by Holder&rsquo;s actions &ndash; and those of others in the Obama Administration - to disregard the laws and the Constitution they have sworn to defend. I am not alone in these concerns. Dozens of my colleagues have called upon Holder to resign. Dozens have asked the President to remove Holder from office. Additionally, on June 28, 2012, 255 members of the U.S. House of Representatives held Mr. Holder in Contempt of Congress. It is the Attorney General&rsquo;s job to uphold the Constitution and the law - not ignore it, nor rewrite it, nor encourage other attorneys general to thwart it.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;This has gone on far too long. The lawlessness at the Department of Justice - of this Administration - must end now. That is why I am announcing today my co-sponsorship of H.Res. 411, which introduces five articles of impeachment against Attorney General Eric H. Holder, Jr.&rdquo;</blockquote>

<p>Texas congressman and U.S. Senate candidate Steve Stockman criticized the Obama administration&rsquo;s position on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) during an interview yesterday with Religious Right talk show host <a href="http://janetmefferdpremium.com/2014/02/25/janet-mefferd-radio-show-20140225-hr-2/">Janet Mefferd</a>.</p>
<p>Stockman said the administration&rsquo;s refusal to defend DOMA &ldquo;undermines the whole concept of our country&rdquo; and insisted that people &ldquo;should have pickets&rdquo; in Washington. &ldquo;You&rsquo;re really setting up for a dictatorship,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s really pretty frightening for the children and grandchildren down the road, this is really a dangerous example to set.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Of course, Obama is <a href="http://mediamatters.org/research/2011/02/25/a-form-of-dictatorship-conservative-media-dubio/176920">far from the first president</a> to decline to defend a federal law the administration deemed unconstitutional.</p>

<img class="imagefield imagefield-field_teaser_astory" width="390" height="250" alt="" src="http://www.pfaw.org/sites/default/files/images/a_story_images/christian_nation_A.jpg?1353351034" />
<p>On Monday, five religious organizations filed <a href="http://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/faiths-file-amicus-brief-on-marriage-cases-before-tenth-circuit-court">an amicus brief</a> urging the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold bans on same-sex couples getting married in Utah and Oklahoma. According to the <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/mormon-church-weigh-gay-marriage-ban-22447394">Associated Press</a>, the brief was written by lawyers for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, and was joined by the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Lutheran Church &ndash; Missouri Synod.</p>
<p>The thrust of the brief is to argue that there are sound social policy reasons to oppose marriage equality, and to attack the notion that opposition to gay couples getting married is grounded in anti-gay prejudice, or &ldquo;animus.&rdquo; Says the brief, &ldquo;The accusation is false and offensive.&rdquo;</p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in;">&ldquo;Our faith communities bear no ill will toward same-sex couples, but rather have marriage-affirming religious beliefs that merge with both practical experience and sociological fact to convince us that retaining the husband-wife marriage definition is essential.&rdquo;</p>
<p>No ill will toward same-sex couples? &nbsp;Let&rsquo;s review.</p>
<p>We can start with the Southern Baptists, who have officially <a href="http://www.sbc.net/resolutions/amResolution.asp?ID=615">declared</a> that &ldquo;homosexual conduct is always a gross moral and spiritual abomination for any person, whether male or female, under any circumstance, without exception&rdquo; and that they even oppose businesses extending benefits to domestic partners.&nbsp; OK, to be fair, that was 1997. The SBC voted in <a href="http://www.sbc.net/resolutions/amResolution.asp?ID=1128">2003</a> to &ldquo;call upon all judges and public officials to resist and oppose the legalization of same-sex unions,&rdquo; and in 2008 <a href="http://www.sbc.net/resolutions/amResolution.asp?ID=1190">called</a> for constitutional amendment to prevent same-sex couples from getting married anywhere in the U.S.</p>
<p>Richard Land, who was for 25 years the voice of the Southern Baptists&rsquo; Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission until his retirement last fall, has said the <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/richard-land-devil-homosexual-lifestyle#sthash.NYe6ua0N.dpuf">Devil</a> takes pleasure in the destructive homosexual lifestyle.&nbsp; In 2012, Land <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/religious-right-defends-criminalization-homosexuality-judgment-paganization">said</a>, &ldquo;God is already judging America and will judge her more harshly as we continue to move down this path toward sexual paganization.&rdquo; A year earlier he <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/land-gay-activists-seek-full-blown-sexual-paganization-society">accused</a> gay rights activists of &ldquo;child abuse&rdquo; for &ldquo;recruiting&rdquo; children in elementary school.</p>
<p>Land&rsquo;s retirement was expected to shift the ERLC&rsquo;s tone; but the group still <a href="http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?ID=41529">opposes</a> ENDA, a proposed federal law to protect LGBT people from discrimination on the job.</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s see, who else opposes <a href="http://www.religiondispatches.org/dispatches/petermontgomery/7218/u_s__bishops_have_no_trouble_judging_gays/">ENDA</a>, domestic partnerships, civil unions, and marriage equality? That would be the US Conference of Catholic bishops. The bishops have said they oppose &ldquo;unjust discrimination&rdquo; against people with same-sex attractions, but they <a href="http://www.religiondispatches.org/dispatches/petermontgomery/7218/u_s__bishops_have_no_trouble_judging_gays/">define</a> the term &ldquo;unjust&rdquo; in a way that applies only to people who remain celibate. So if you are a gay couple and you are having sex, workplace discrimination against you is justified, as is a refusal to legally recognize your relationship.</p>
<p>A number of prominent U.S. bishops signed, and urged other Catholics to sign, the <a href="http://www.alternet.org/story/145500/%27christian%27_manifesto_comparing_liberals_to_nazis_gathers_signatures_of_religious_right_leaders_--_and_catholic_bishops?page=0%2C4">Manhattan Declaration</a>, which compared liberals to Nazis. It declares conservatives&rsquo; positions on marriage to be "inviolable and non-negotiable," and pledges that conservatives will engage in civil disobedience, and may even need to prepare for martyrdom, in order to avoid recognizing legally married same-sex couples.</p>
<p>Let&rsquo;s not forget Bishop Thomas Paprocki, from Springfield, Illinois, who told Catholics in 2012 that voting for the equality-supporting Democratic Party would put their eternal souls in <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/bishop-democrats-evils-soul-serious-jeopardy">jeopardy</a>, and who responded to the passage of marriage equality in Illinois by conducting an <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/bishop-paprocki-leads-anti-gay-exorcism">exorcism</a>.</p>
<p>The Mormon Church was a driving force in opposition to early marriage equality moves in Hawaii and Alaska and was crucial to the success of California&rsquo;s Prop 8, providing tens of thousands of volunteers and a flood of cash. After a post-Prop-8 backlash from both inside and outside the church, LDS officials seemed to have <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/04/prop-8-mormons-gay-marriage-shift">abandoned</a> the anti-marriage-equality crusade. The church <a href="http://www.lds.org/topics/same-gender-attraction?lang=eng">says</a> it supported Salt Lake City ordinances banning discrimination in housing and employment and has supported same-sex couples&rsquo; rights regarding &ldquo;hospitalization and medical care, fair housing and employment rights, or probate rights&rdquo; &ndash; sounds good &ndash; &ldquo;so long as those do not infringe of the integrity of the traditional family or the constitutional rights of churches.&rdquo; Hmm.</p>
<p>How about the National Association of Evangelicals?&nbsp; In 2008, Richard Cizik, the longtime public policy face of the NAE, was <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/12/11/AR2008121103578.html">forced to resign</a> after he publicly expressed support for civil unions.</p>
<p>Unlike the more progressive Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA), the more conservative Lutheran Church &ndash; Missouri Synod (LCMS) strongly opposes LGBT equality. In a statement after the Supreme Court overturned the Defense of Marriage Act, the church <a href="http://blogs.lcms.org/2013/upholding-marriage-gods-plan-and-gift">insisted</a>, &ldquo;Same-sex unions are contrary to God&rsquo;s will, and gay marriage is, in the eyes of God, no marriage at all&hellip; no matter what the courts or legislatures may say.&rdquo; The conservative Lutherans have backed HJR 6 in Indiana, which is attempting to add a <a href="http://blogs.lcms.org/2014/support-of-indiana-marriage-bill">ban</a> on marriage equality to the state constitution.</p>
<p>In January, the LCMS announced it was entering formal discussions with the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Makane Yesus, which cut its longstanding ties with the ELCA last year over sexuality issues. The Ethiopian church was so disturbed by the ELCA&rsquo;s pro-equality positions that it has declared its members may not share communion with ELCA members.&nbsp; Ethiopia&rsquo;s churches and government, with the encouragement of American missionaries, have, in the words of a recent disturbing Newsweek <a href="http://mag.newsweek.com/2013/12/13/graveyard-homosexuals.html">article</a>, &ldquo;declared war on gay men.&rdquo;</p>
<p>So, maybe it depends what you mean by &ldquo;ill will.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Staver claimed that in making the decision, the Supreme Court ruled that anyone who supports traditional marriage is a bigoted and hateful enemy of humanity, and <a href="http://youtu.be/jaWQPtrlKSs">he is outraged</a>: "I say to Justice Kennedy and the other four justices, and I say this strongly as an attorney who is also an officer of the court, how dare they say that those who believe in marriage are bigots and haters of humanity!"</p>
<p>Staver went on to compare the DOMA decision to the Dred Scott decision and <em>Buck v. Bell</em> because it is not reflective of "natural law, biblical law or commons sense; it is contrary to the natural created order of God almighty":</p>

<p>Faith and Freedom Coalition executive director Gary Marx has written a column for the <a href="http://www.christianpost.com/news/supreme-court-rulings-revisited-they-will-prove-an-awakening-for-conservatives-102672/">Christian Post</a> in which he claims that the Supreme Court&rsquo;s rulings on DOMA and Proposition 8 have made our democracy only an illusion. After accusing the court of &ldquo;dismantling American democracy&rdquo; in their gay rights decisions, Marx lambastes the justices for turning America into &ldquo;a nation where democracy is a mere visual effect used to spawn a perception of self-rule that no longer ultimately exists.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;The Supreme Court has now served notice to liberty advocates that it is game on,&rdquo; Marx writes. Despite the fact that a <a href="http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/307853-poll-55-percent-support-same-sex-marriage">majority</a> <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/163730/back-law-legalize-gay-marriage-states.aspx">of</a> <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-250_162-57576249/poll-53-of-americans-support-same-sex-marriage/">Americans</a> favor marriage equality, he claims that &ldquo;traditional marriage activists&rdquo; actually &ldquo;vastly outnumber their opponents&rdquo; and will prevent the court&rsquo;s attempt &ldquo;to trump the political will and wisdom of its citizens.&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote>
If there was any doubt that the Supreme Court of the United States continues to vastly overextend its powers in ways that are dismantling American democracy and liberty, this summer's decisions striking down a core component of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and remanding California's Proposition 8 should settle the question.<br />
<br />
How great is this threat? Put it this way: No component of American liberty or democracy is inherently safe if, as it did earlier this week, the highest court in our land is permitted to trump Constitutional principles and the political will of the American people with a progressive political and social agenda rooted in neither.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
The stakes in this current cause could not be much higher. When a portion of the Supreme Court can flippantly toss aside the political will of the people on issues that are rightfully empowered to the people to decide, as this Court now has done, we no longer reside in a nation guided by our people and laws. Rather, America becomes a nation where democracy is a mere visual effect used to spawn a perception of self-rule that no longer ultimately exists.<br />
<br />
This is the bad news for liberty loving Americans. But the Supreme Court's rulings bring good news too. Contrary to the image depicted in mainstream media, the American people are awakening to the reality of its elitist, progressive courts &ndash; and it is a reality, as Justice Antonin Scalia properly argued in his dissenting view on DOMA, that is "jaw dropping". In striking down the will of elected Members of Congress and a President of the United States (with DOMA) and the people of California (with its Proposition 8 ruling), the Supreme Court has now served notice to liberty advocates that it is game on. That is a calling that the American people will surely answer.<br />
<br />
Additionally and importantly, the rulings in no way settle much of anything as it relates to the future of traditional marriage. DOMA may be no longer, but we at the Faith and Freedom Coalition intend to work with its advocates and a growing grassroots movement of Americans who support its principles, to ensure its basic tenets are otherwise upheld. The rulings also will certainly further inspire the efforts of traditional marriage activists, who now vastly outnumber their opponents, to work to elect state and federal legislators who will defend the treasured and traditional definition of marriage while ensuring that the nation's courts no longer serve to trump the political will and wisdom of its citizens.</blockquote>

<p>In an interview with Steve Deace yesterday, Frank Schubert, <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/10/us/politics/frank-schubert-mastermind-in-the-fight-against-gay-marriage.html?pagewanted=all">the top campaign strategist</a> for anti-gay groups including the National Organization for Marriage, accused the Supreme Court of &ldquo;shredding of the Constitution&rdquo; with its &ldquo;horrendous&rdquo; court decision on Prop 8. Schubert was upset that the ruling cleared the way for attorneys general not to defend certain laws.</p>
<p>However, administrations from those of <a href="http://www.npr.org/2011/03/01/134132526/u-s-defends-doma-despite-dropping-support">Harry Truman</a> to <a href="http://www.aclu.org/drug-law-reform/justice-department-refuses-defend-congress-legal-battle-over-law-censoring-marijuana">George W.

<p>He also called the <em>Windsor</em> decision &ldquo;preposterous&rdquo; and claimed it &ldquo;calls into question the integrity of the governmental process itself. These judges have now put themselves as our supreme overlords, the overseers of our conduct.&rdquo;</p>

On Janet Parshall&rsquo;s radio show last week, Staver compared Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote the majority opinion in <em>Windsor</em>, to former Chief Justice Robert B. Taney, infamous for writing the <em>Dred Scott</em> ruling.</p>
<p>The Liberty University Law School dean told Parshall that the court decided wrongly in part because &ldquo;our history has actually criminalized homosexual behavior&rdquo; and alleged that Kennedy decided to &ldquo;label everyone who believes and affirms in the natural created order of marriage between a man and a woman as a bigot and a hater.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;How dare this court. How dare Justice Kennedy. How dare he actually give those kinds of labels to people,&rdquo; Staver said. &ldquo;I think the court crossed the line to illegitimacy by doing so and I think it put itself in the same category as Chief Justice Taney in the 1857 Dred Scott decision in which they said blacks were inferior human beings not entitled to citizenship, as they did in the 1927 Buck v. Bell case that said &lsquo;sorry Carrie Buck, Virginia has a right to forcibly sterilize you.&rsquo;&rdquo;</p>

<p>Gohmert <a href="http://youtu.be/PJMFi0w_Z0k">told Porter</a> that if the Supreme Court majority really believes that the purpose of DOMA was to impose inequality then "they are the most ignorant people walking around in Washington, and that's saying something."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Janet Parshall yesterday hosted William Owens of the Coalition of African-American Pastors and the National Organization for Marriage to discuss the Supreme Court&rsquo;s recent marriage cases.</p>
<p>Parshall twice asserted that Kennedy called anti-gay activists &ldquo;in his words &lsquo;enemies of the nation.&rsquo;&rdquo; Kennedy never used such language, but Justice Antonin Scalia did accuse Kennedy of calling gay rights opponents &ldquo;enemies of humanity.&rdquo;</p>
<p align="center"><iframe frameborder="no" height="166" scrolling="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F100645481&color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=false" width="100%"></iframe></p>
<blockquote>
The Supreme Court rules, in his opinion, stunningly, Kennedy says basically that those of us who don&rsquo;t agree with his worldview are in his words &ldquo;enemies of the nation.&rdquo; So I have to tell you, what does that do for us as followers of Jesus? If God hasn&rsquo;t changed his mind on the definition of marriage and immediately a Supreme Court justice says those of you who follow God&rsquo;s word are &ldquo;enemies of the nation,&rdquo; it seems to me the temptation is going to be for us to just sit down, be quiet, keep our thoughts to ourselves because hey who wants to be marginalized by the culture?</blockquote>
<p>Meanwhile, Owens announced that CAAP and the Heritage Foundation are <a href="http://caapus.org/save-the-date-october-9-10-2013/">hosting</a> a conference in October for anti-gay activists who seek to &ldquo;work together to stop this nonsense.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;The adults are confused and they&rsquo;re confusing the children,&rdquo; Owens lamented, &ldquo;how can two men rear a child? How can a man be a mother? Tell me that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He called on gay rights opponents to launch a new Civil Rights Movement: &ldquo;You think we did something during the Civil Rights Movement? This is our Civil Rights Movement&hellip;. We are going to fight to the end, we are not going to give up, we are going to fight like we fought to get civil rights, like we marched for miles and miles and miles, we took the heat, whatever it took, we are going to stand for the family.&rdquo;</p>

<p>On a recent installment of the weekly "<a href="https://www.getv.org/Videos/Watch/5f8c18fe-a819-4d7c-8ff1-a885973fa4bf?title=Hagee_Hotline_July_2_2013">Hagee Hotline,</a>" Matthew Hagee responded to a question from a viewer wondering if the Rapture is about to occur by declaring that indeed it is.</p>
<p>Citing the statement from Jesus in <a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+17%3A22-30&version=ESV">Luke 17: 22-30</a> that "just as it was in the days of Noah [and] Lot ... so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed," Hagee explained that today all of the same things are taking place as occurred during the days of Noah, such as men being wicked and atheistic, and during the days of Lot when "men had given up the natural affections for women and were lying with other men."</p>
<p>Hagee then pointed specifically to the Supreme Court's recent DOMA decision, <a href="http://youtu.be/2BT9QBKd8oM">saying</a> "that's something that would have been applauded in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah.&nbsp; So when you see these things similar to the days of Noah and similar to the days of Lot, it's very easy to know that the rapture of the church is about to occur":</p>

<p>Pastor Dan Cummins of Come Pray With Me has <a href="http://pastordancummins.com/dans-bio/">worked</a> with a variety of Religious Right groups, including Newt Gingrich&rsquo;s Renewing American Leadership, Rick Perry&rsquo;s The Response USA and Tony Perkins&rsquo; Watchmen on the Wall, and <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/next-religious-right-prayer-event-capitol-hall">organized</a> his own <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/prayer-capitol-american-economy-politics-and-culture-are-dying-because-sin">prayer rally in the Capitol&rsquo;s Statuary Hall</a>.</p>
<p>But soon, Cummins warns, such organizations may not exist.</p>
<p>In a <em>Charisma</em> column today, Cummins writes thats gays will drive the church &ldquo;underground&rdquo; and turn churches into &ldquo;government community centers.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Cummins claims that the Supreme Court has created a divide in America similar to the Korean DMZ and the Berlin Wall, called &ldquo;the Rainbow Curtain.&rdquo; He says that the justices &ldquo;from their judicial lair&rdquo; have &ldquo;set off a catalytic charge toppling traditional marriage&rdquo; and now &ldquo;the collapse of America&rsquo;s moral infrastructure has been irreversibly set into motion.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Residents of states with marriage equality are now &ldquo;hostages&rdquo; to a government that will use &ldquo;foreign troops&rdquo; to put them &ldquo;re-education camps,&rdquo; he argues.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Like a surreal scene from Red Dawn, America woke up on June 26 to a divided nation, with 95 million of its citizens in 13 states held hostage to judicial legislation, trapped behind the Rainbow Curtain,&rdquo; Cummins writes. &ldquo;What&rsquo;s ahead for those in the gay zones who refuse to comply with Kennedy&rsquo;s dictates&mdash;re-education camps for homophobic racists? Will Big Sis employ foreign troops invading through our unsecured borders to enforce the transition into this brave new world?&rdquo;</p>
<p>He hopes that the new &ldquo;refugees&rdquo; will &ldquo;flee with their families into neighboring free zones,&rdquo; asking, &ldquo;Where are Patrick Swayze and his pack of Wolverines when we need them?&rdquo;</p>
<p>He calls on anti-gay activists in &ldquo;gay zones&rdquo; to &ldquo;become forearmed&rdquo; as society unravels into a gay dystopia and &ldquo;the choking dust clouds from the collapse of the last societal pillar of biblical, natural marriage stop rolling through the streets of our cities and states.&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote>
After World War II, Stalin installed an iron curtain around Russia, keeping his capitalist neighbors from eavesdropping. The Chinese accessorized their Cold War condo with a bamboo curtain, deterring pesky peeping toms from the West.<br />
<br />
Soon Mr. Khrushchev, keeping up with his Commie neighbors, built a privacy wall and gated community, secluding East Berliners from greedy, free-market entrepreneurs soliciting door to door. Not to forget Kim Il-Sung&rsquo;s ensemble of razor wire and land mines across North Korea&rsquo;s 38th parallel to discourage those JW and LDS types from indoctrinating the folks.<br />
<br />
Now, in the midst of the American culture war, behind another curtain of sorts&mdash;a life-size photographic scrim concealing a facelift to the Supreme Court&rsquo;s crumbling west fa&ccedil;ade&mdash;Justice Anthony Kennedy has ordered a redecorating of the nation&rsquo;s landscape with a bold, colorful and inclusive statement&mdash;the Rainbow Curtain&mdash;a polyamorous blend of gender-on-gender suited for a post-moralist motif designed to safeguard the modern American family from the narrow-minded views of those &ldquo;animus&rdquo;-filled Founding Fathers.<br />
<br />
From their juridical lair, the liberal Gang of Five recently set off a catalytic charge toppling traditional marriage&mdash;the last principled pillar upholding Uncle Sam&rsquo;s home. Just how long his 237-year-old colonial manor can remain standing minus its moral supports intact is anyone&rsquo;s guess. But the collapse of America&rsquo;s moral infrastructure has been irreversibly set into motion by five legislating justices.<br />
<br />
As the new civil rights movement packs the neighborhood streets, shouting, &ldquo;Move that bus,&rdquo; is America ready for the extreme home makeover the LGBT architects have designed for the evolving modern family?<br />
<br />
Like a surreal scene from Red Dawn, America woke up on June 26 to a divided nation, with 95 million of its citizens in 13 states held hostage to judicial legislation, trapped behind the Rainbow Curtain and forced to accept the moral dictates of the elitist ruling party&mdash;a pentagram of liberal judges on the Supreme Court.<br />
<br />
Many of those hostages, like California&rsquo;s residents, were disenfranchised of their constitutional votes in the process. What&rsquo;s ahead for those in the gay zones who refuse to comply with Kennedy&rsquo;s dictates&mdash;re-education camps for homophobic racists? Will Big Sis employ foreign troops invading through our unsecured borders to enforce the transition into this brave new world?<br />
<br />
What stark new realities are ahead for those behind the Rainbow Curtain? Will Americans become refugees in their own country as they flee with their families into neighboring free zone states? Where are Patrick Swayze and his pack of Wolverines when we need them?<br />
<br />
The Supremes striking down Proposition 8 and partially ruling on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) have given the prize&mdash;marriage without borders&mdash;to the LGBT crowd and thrown the pro-biblical marriage community a legal bone by kicking the can back to the free zone states to argue it out in court.<br />
<br />
What does this mean for the 70 percent of the U.S. population living in the free zones? Watch what happens to the families, businesses and churches in the gay zones who refuse to comply with Kennedy&rsquo;s court. Be forewarned and become forearmed.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
The new persecution of the church will be in the form of prosecution of the church. This legal martyrdom will be slow, painful and expensive. Some churches, especially in the gay zones initially, will fold under the financial strain.<br />
<br />
The end result for any church refusing complicity to the court&rsquo;s opinion will be loss of tax-exempt status. The IRS will not only control America&rsquo;s health care but her religious institutions as well. For those churches indebted by hefty mortgages, the outcome of losing membership and their tax-exempt tithes will be potentially fatal. As foreclosed church properties flood the real estate market, they will be prime choices for government community centers.<br />
<br />
You say this can&rsquo;t happen in America? We were saying similar things 10 years ago about same-sex marriage and 40 years ago about abortion. Wake up!<br />
<br />
Maybe China is the new model for American society. When the choking dust clouds from the collapse of the last societal pillar of biblical, natural marriage stop rolling through the streets of our cities and states, we will witness the aftermath left by Justice Kennedy&rsquo;s ruling upon our families, churches and religious freedoms.<br />
<br />
Will there only be two churches left in America when that time comes&mdash;the state church, with its complicit clergy complete with gay members, and the underground church of Jesus Christ? Take heart&mdash;the greatest revival in the world is now taking place in the underground church of China. Maybe revival is coming to America after all. Either way, you had better get a Bible.</blockquote>

<p>Yesterday, while speaking with Janet Mefferd, Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) expanded on his claim that the Supreme Court Justices who ruled on Prop 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act should&rsquo;ve <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/huelskamp-doma-ruling-attack-jesus-christ-justices-couldnt-pass-law-school">flunked law school</a>.</p>
<p>Huelskamp said Justice Anthony Kennedy&rsquo;s decision on DOMA was &ldquo;outrageous&rdquo; and based on smearing gay rights opponents: &ldquo;If you&rsquo;re writing for the left and you&rsquo;re not gonna follow the Constitution you have to make it up as you go along so you inject name-calling into a constitutional decision, I mean that&rsquo;s an outrageous decision.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He also called Chief Justice John Roberts&rsquo; ruling on Prop 8 &ldquo;crazy&rdquo; and described it as an example of left-wing bias. Huelskamp even argued that the DOMA ruling effectively tossed out state laws barring marriages between a mother and her daughter, adding that &ldquo;polygamy should be allowed under this decision.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;What&rsquo;s the impact on our children? That&rsquo;s what the left doesn&rsquo;t care about,&rdquo; Huelskamp said, repeating his earlier claim that &ldquo;<a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/rep-huelskamp-radical-doma-decision-means-children-will-be-hurt">children will be hurt</a>&rdquo; by the rulings. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s why this is showing up in these decisions that you know what just because two adults or three adults desire one thing that doesn&rsquo;t mean it&rsquo;s best for our children.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The congressman also told Mefferd that Republicans are too timid in their opposition to gay rights and should also focus on the &ldquo;fiscal impact&rdquo; of gay marriage and what he believes is the legalization of polygamy: &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a real big fiscal impact, we&rsquo;re going to extend 1,100 benefits to homosexual and polygamous couples, perhaps, what&rsquo;s the impact on that?&rdquo;</p>

<img class="imagefield imagefield-field_teaser_astory" width="390" height="250" alt="" src="http://www.pfaw.org/sites/default/files/images/a_story_images/rings.jpg?1349226956" />
<p>Alan Keyes believes that Justice Antonin Scalia <a href="http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/keyes/130704">didn&rsquo;t go far enough</a> in his dissent in <em>Windsor</em>, the decision which struck down a key component of the Defense of Marriage Act, maintaining that he should&rsquo;ve argued that gay marriage, which Keyes called a &ldquo;tyrannically defined fabrication,&rdquo; is unconstitutional.</p>
<p>According to Keyes, gay marriage advocates are using the same line of reasoning of slavery proponents who argued that &ldquo;the notion of unalienable rights did not apply to black people&rdquo; and did so &ldquo;by denying black people their share in human nature.&rdquo; &ldquo;In like fashion, the advocates of homosexual so-called marriage now seek to deny the nature of marriage&rdquo; and &ldquo;override right and justice as endowed by the Creator.&rdquo; Since same-sex unions violate God&rsquo;s laws, Keyes reasons, it is therefore unconstitutional and allow government to undermine unalienable rights.</p>
<blockquote>
The advocates of slavery in the United States often attempted to justify that institution by denying black people their share in human nature. On this account, they pretended that the notion of unalienable rights did not apply to black people, and that they therefore had no rights government was obliged to respect and secure. In like fashion, the advocates of homosexual so-called marriage now seek to deny the nature of marriage. They do so on the excuse of promoting equal treatment for homosexuals. But the necessary and intended result of their advocacy is to deny the family's functional claim to be an expression of human nature, indeed the primordial expression of its social aspect. This, in turn, allows them to deny that the individuals who make up the family are engaged in an exercise of right, according to the laws of nature and of nature's God. Once this is successfully denied, the activities arising from their exercise of right need no longer be respected as unalienable rights, antecedent to all human governments, which it is government's aim to secure.<br />
<br />
In what amounts to an effort to overturn the whole idea of unalienable rights that gives rise to constitutional self-government, some elements of America's judiciary have moved to proclaim as law that marriage must be redefined in a way that accommodates homosexual relationships. But this means that a human relationship in no way rooted in the Creator's provision for our nature must be allowed to usurp the name, authority, and rights of the God-endowed institution.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
Once this effect upon the unalienable rights of the natural family is understood, it becomes clear that the Constitution is not neutral with respect to the approval or disapproval of same-sex marriage, in the name of law. There is an explicit constitutional prohibition against denying or disparaging rights unenumerated in the Constitution but retained by the people. Since the unalienable rights of the family arise from the individual's commitment to fulfill the natural law by propagating humanity, they are certainly among these unenumerated rights. Therefore, Congress simply did its duty, in accordance with the 9th Amendment, when it moved to prevent the denial and disparagement of the rights of the natural family by judges and justices seeking to replace the natural family with a tyrannically defined fabrication.<br />
<br />
Why did Justice Scalia fail to take note of this constitutional justification for DOMA, utterly ignored by the Windsor majority? Why, instead, did he pretend that the issue involved can simply be decided by majority vote of the people in their respective states, as if the human sovereignty that constitutes government, at any level, has authority to override right and justice as endowed by the Creator? In this respect, neither the Windsor majority nor Justice Scalia's dissent shows any respect for the premises that informed the deliberations of the Framers of the U.S. Constitution. Yet without those premises, the declared purposes and essential features of the constitution they devised cannot be properly understood.</blockquote>

<p>After <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/crouse-gay-marriage-ruining-america-because-only-straight-married-families-volunteer-hospita">arguing</a> that gay marriage is a threat to children and community spirit, Janice Shaw Crouse of Concerned Women for America took to the <a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/2/kennedy-v-scalia/"><em>Washington Times</em></a> today to warn about the approaching &ldquo;bleak future Christians&rdquo; in which people of faith will experience &ldquo;harsh retribution in the form of fines and imprisonment&rdquo; if gay marriage becomes legal.</p>
<p>Crouse lashed out at &ldquo;in-your-face media campaigns to normalize homosexual relationships&rdquo; and pointed to an <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/26/opinion/anderson-gay-marriage">opinion piece</a> by a Heritage Foundation fellow in CNN.com to claim that the DOMA ruling is a threat to democracy.</p>
<p>&ldquo;It contradicts centuries of experience across time and cultures for the best family structure for strong nations,&rdquo; Crouse writes about same-sex unions. &ldquo;It represents a national experiment in social reconstruction at the expense of our children&rsquo;s futures and the future of America.&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote>
Regarding the Proposition 8 vote, the Supreme Court, in an instance of legal maneuvering that trumps common sense, said that those sponsoring the California initiative did not have &ldquo;standing&rdquo; to defend the constitutional amendment passed by more than 7 million voters. This amounts to the court saying, if we don&rsquo;t want to address the issue, we simply say you don&rsquo;t have the right to raise the issue with us. Thus, the California officials who refused to enforce the law got away with rejecting the will of the majority in their state.<br />
<br />
In the Defense of Marriage Act vote, the Supreme Court struck down Section 3, which defines marriage as the union between one man and one woman for federal purposes. The narrow victory grants federal benefits to same-sex couples who live in states where such &ldquo;marriages&rdquo; are legal. In effect, though, the decision overturns the 1996 action of a bipartisan majority in Congress, even though the decision allows states to determine their own definition of marriage. Even CNN pointed out: &ldquo;This is a serious loss for federalism and democratic self-government.&rdquo; Section 2 of DOMA, which remains, makes it clear that no state is required to recognize another state&rsquo;s same-sex &ldquo;marriages.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The technicalities, though, are obscured by the media &ldquo;victory&rdquo; won by the homosexual activists. More and more Americans are viewing same-sex &ldquo;marriage&rdquo; as inevitable, and the in-your-face media campaigns to normalize homosexual relationships are successfully changing the popular culture.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
The bottom line is that the Supreme Court rulings fly in the face of a growing mountain of social science research showing that the best household arrangement for children is a married mom and dad. It contradicts centuries of experience across time and cultures for the best family structure for strong nations. It represents a national experiment in social reconstruction at the expense of our children&rsquo;s futures and the future of America. These decisions repudiate &mdash; with a vengeance &mdash; the sacred trust of the Founders who built this great nation &ldquo;under God&rdquo; and on a foundation of Judeo-Christian principles that have stood the test of time.<br />
<br />
Worse, the rulings warn of a future where Christians will have a choice: Keep silent about their faith or face not just being cast as a social pariah, but harsh retribution in the form of fines and imprisonment. It is hard to envision such an outcome, but the pivotal changes and losses of religious freedom and freedom of speech over the past few years portend a bleak future Christians must take seriously.</blockquote>

So I didn&rsquo;t have my hand on the trigger fast enough when they did a hard cut to a backstory about this lesbian chef and don&rsquo;t you know it she&rsquo;s got her arm around her &lsquo;wife,&rsquo; she refers to her &lsquo;wife,&rsquo; and I was too slow in fast-forwarding. My eight-year-old Lucy, sweet Lucy, turned to me and said: &lsquo;Did she say wife?&rsquo; And I said, &lsquo;No, I think she meant girlfriend.&rsquo; And Lucy said, &lsquo;I think she said life.&rsquo; God bless the innocence of this child. But they will not let us off the mat, the ideologies who want to cram this thing down our throats no matter where we go.</blockquote>
<p>And it gets worse. Ruse laments that unwitting children may have had their vacations ruined by an edition of USA Today that featured a gay couple kissing:</p>
<blockquote>
The day after the decision of the Supreme Court was a full page photograph of two men kissing on USA Today. This is a paper that lands in front of hotel room doors all over the country, this is vacation time, families open that door, children may have opened this door to see two men kissing. They are making us explain things to our children that we don&rsquo;t want to explain and they know what they&rsquo;re doing, they absolutely know what they&rsquo;re doing.</blockquote>
<p>While Ruse complains about being persecuted by the Food Network, let&rsquo;s remember that this is same anti-gay activist who <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/cpac-austin-ruse-condemns-efforts-stop-violence-against-lgbt-community">condemned</a> the United Nations for investigating &ldquo;discriminatory laws and practices and acts of violence against individuals based on their sexual orientation and gender identity.&rdquo;</p>

<p>While Justice Antonin Scalia has <a href="http://gawker.com/antonin-scalia-does-not-believe-in-molecular-biology-513125290">problems believing in biology</a>, Rep. Louie Gohmert takes issue with any Supreme Court justice who understands evolution. On last week&rsquo;s edition of <em>Washington Watch</em>, Gohmert spoke to conservative activist <a href="http://mediamatters.org/tags/j-christian-adams">J. Christian Adams</a> about the court&rsquo;s decisions in the DOMA and Prop 8 cases, which he had previously warned <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/gohmert-gay-marriage-signals-collapse-civilization">signal the collapse of civilization</a>.</p>
<p>Gohmert reacted to the court&rsquo;s rulings by quoting &ldquo;the wisest man in the history of mankind,&rdquo; King Solomon, while lamenting that his wisdom was &ldquo;ruined&rdquo; by engaging in polygamy (which also happens to undermine Gohmert&rsquo;s case that there was just one definition of marriage in the Bible).</p>
<p>&ldquo;He should&rsquo;ve stuck with one man and one wife and I think he&rsquo;d stay wise the rest of his life,&rdquo; Gohmert said of Solomon, &ldquo;but during a period of wisdom he said, &lsquo;There is nothing new under the sun,&rsquo; and the holy quintet [the Supreme Court] had not apparently realized that, they really thought this was something new and improved.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The congressman then delved into the world of philosophy: &ldquo;From a philosophical standpoint, you know, we got intellectuals on the court who are believed to support the idea that evolution is how mankind got here and there is an ongoing evolution occurring. And I can&rsquo;t just help but wonder, as these brilliant intellectuals have gotten to this point, how marriage between two men fits into the evolving of producing higher offspring that make the species higher and better.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Adams added the justices have sought to &ldquo;change the laws of nature&rdquo; and &ldquo;alter what is reality,&rdquo; while Gohmert referenced a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_75RXbmO6k">Chiffon margarine commercial</a> to warn the justices that they &ldquo;shouldn&rsquo;t mess with Mother Nature.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Reiterating false claims he made in an <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/barton-doma-ruling-will-force-chaplains-perform-gay-weddings-central-america-legalize-same-s">interview with Glenn Beck</a> following the Supreme Court&rsquo;s ruling on DOMA, David Barton today once again alleged that the Obama administration plans to compel chaplains and Central American nations to administer same-sex marriages against their will.</p>
<p>Barton, speaking on <em>Wallbuilders Live</em> today, suggested that gays and lesbians will now enlist in the armed forces just to get hitched: &ldquo;Now that there is no longer a definition of marriage as a man and a woman and DOMA&rsquo;s struck down, guess what? Guess what happens in the military? Guess what is going to happen in the military? Guess who is going to enlist in the military just so they can have gay marriages and force chaplains to do that?&rdquo;</p>
<p>He accused the State Department of telling other countries that &ldquo;you gonna have to get on track with gay marriage and you gonna have to get homosexuality in the nation.&rdquo; And he finally named which Central American country the US is <a href="http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/barton-doma-ruling-will-force-chaplains-perform-gay-weddings-central-america-legalize-same-s">supposedly forcing to legalize same-sex marriage</a>: Belize.</p>
<p>Of course, Barton was completely off base: the State Department criticized Belize over its harsh law criminalizing homosexuality and for unbridled harassment and discrimination against gays and lesbians.</p>
<p>&ldquo;So the United States has now become an evangelist for gay marriage, homosexual marriage, across the world,&rdquo; Barton said. &ldquo;This is unconscionable.&rdquo;</p>

<p>World Congress of Families spokesman Don Feder <a href="http://www.grasstopsusa.com/df070113.html">claims</a> that the Supreme Court&rsquo;s decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act will legalize polygamy, incest, pedophilia and bestiality, and will ultimately mean that society is &ldquo;doomed to extinction.&rdquo; In fact, Feder writes in a column today, &ldquo;Members of the North American Man-Boy Love Association celebrated [the ruling] by forming a chorus line in trench coats, waving candy bars.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Feder calls the push for marriage equality &ldquo;marriage mutilation&rdquo; and asserts that gays and lesbians are a &ldquo;breeding ground for all sexually transmitted diseases,&rdquo; warning that their &ldquo;death-style&rdquo; only produces &ldquo;disease and chaos.&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote>
Oh give me a home where the loving couples roam and constitutionally-protected sexual choices hold sway.<br />
<br />
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Section 3 of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which essentially said that if a state was stupid enough to establish ersatz marriage, federal taxpayers weren't required to subsidize the travesty.<br />
<br />
Writing for the majority, Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy &ndash; Ronald Reagan's most tragic mistake, surpassing even Bush '41 &ndash; said the wicked and iniquitous DOMA "places same-sex couples in an unstable position of being in second-tier marriages. The differentiation demeans the couple, whose moral and sexual choices the Constitution protects&hellip;."<br />
<br />
Of course, the Constitution does no such thing. It no more protects "sexual choices" (under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments) than it creates a sphere of privacy (under the First Amendment) which permits abortion-on-demand. A society incapable of differentiating between a family and a perversion is doomed to extinction. Concurring with DOMA's 5-4 majority, the nation's Love Doctor, Barack Hussein Obama, exalted: "I applaud the Supreme Court's decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act. This was discrimination enshrined in law. It treated loving couples as a separate and lesser class of people&hellip;.We are a people who declared that we are all created equal&hellip;. And the love we commit to one another must be equal as well." (Emphasis added.) All the love we "commit" &ndash; including polygamous love, incestuous love, "intergenerational" love (pedophilia), cross-species love, and masochistic love (taxpayers voting for Democrats)?<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
We the People, in whose name the Constitution was ordained and established, have decreed &ndash; frequently and volubly, in the only polls that count &ndash; that we reject marriage mutilation.<br />
<br />
No matter. Windsor makes clear what will be the inevitable outcome of the current charade. Again, from Scalia's dissent: "It takes real cheek for today's majority to assure us, as it is going out the door, that a constitutional requirement to give formal recognition to same-sex marriage is not at issue here &ndash; when what has preceded that assurance is a lecture on how superior the majority's moral judgment in favor of same-sex marriage is to the Congresses' hateful moral judgment against it."<br />
<br />
Besides democracy, loving couples also trump public health.<br />
<br />
According to the Centers for Disease Control (when last I checked, not an arm of the Family Research Council), "men who have sex with men" or MSMs (AKA, male homosexuals), made up 61% of all new HIV cases in 2010, while constituting between 2% and 4% of the male population.<br />
<br />
Conservatively, that means male homosexuals are 50 times more likely to become HIV-positive than male heterosexuals. By contrast, a male smoker is only 23 times more likely to develop lung cancer than his non-smoking counterpart.<br />
<br />
Loving couples are a breeding ground for all sexually transmitted diseases. Again, according to CDC, a male homosexual is 46 times more likely to contract primary or secondary syphilis than other men. Apparently, all of the love they commit does nothing to ensure anything remotely approaching fidelity and restraint.<br />
<br />
One type of family produces children, social order and the future &ndash; the other disease and chaos. Which is to be preferred? SCOTUS says differentiation between them is unconstitutionally demeaning.<br />
<br />
But government-mandated homosexual marriage is only part of what awaits us. With the gay lobby, there's always the next big thing. They will demand that you endorse their death-style &ndash; publicly and on bended-knee. Ultimately, it's about the mailed fist of the state smashing religious liberty and conscience.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
During oral arguments, in questioning a lawyer for gay marriage &ndash; who claimed that, of course, there would be limits to deconstructing a millennia-old institution &ndash; Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor (part of the DOMA majority) asked: "If you say that marriage is a fundamental right, what state restrictions could ever exist? Meaning, what's the restriction with respect to the number of people that could get married, the incest laws &ndash; mother and child? What's left?"<br />
<br />
The obvious answer is nothing &ndash; which is why polygamy advocates welcomed the DOMA decision and members of the North American Man-Boy Love Association celebrated by forming a chorus line in trench coats, waving candy bars.</blockquote>

In his latest column, Bresciani argues that Obama is part of a long line of evil rulers including Nero and Adolf Hitler, and may be even worse because of his support for same-sex marriage.</p>
<p>Bresciani writes that Obama&rsquo;s endorsement of marriage equality was the &ldquo;most defiant, divisive and destructive policy ever presented to any nation in history.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;The prurient, perverted lifestyle and practices of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population is the only thing noticeably promoted in the first and second term of Barack Obama,&rdquo; Bresciani writes. &ldquo;It is Barack Obama's unique and particular brand of evil, and yet it is being presented as a great win for civil rights.&rdquo;</p>
<p>After insisting that Obama is &ldquo;doing everything to prepare the way&rdquo; for the Antichrist&rsquo;s future reign, the Renew America columnist wondered if America will soon be governed by Islamic law or become a gaypalooza: &ldquo;Will it be the free for all of the LGBT with parades and open shows in media and public, or the dark portent of Sharia law where women are entombed in black potato sacks and reduced to the social level of cattle? Will America be a nation ruled by a political party led by Jihadists or a big party put on by the LGBT.&rdquo;</p>
<blockquote>
Every period of time in this world has had its despots, and tyrants who forced their particular brand of evil on those they ruled.<br />
<br />
To insult the Jews, Antiochus Epiphanes (Antiochus IV) slew a pig in the most sacred spot in the world for Jewish people, the Holy of Holies.<br />
<br />
Herod wanting to please the Romans hoisted up the Roman Eagle over the door of the Temple; which was a clear defilement in the eyes of every Jew.<br />
<br />
Later Roman Emperor Nero began killing Christians for sport and to entertain his willing blood thirsty citizens.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to modern despots. There are so many we will hone in on the best known. Hitler killed Jews and anyone else who resisted his diabolical Third Reich. Millions died before his twisted schemes could be reined in and Germany brought down to a heap of smoldering rubble.<br />
<br />
All successful despots throughout all time have shared one thing in common; they knew that crowd control was not something that you do when everything has gone out of control; it is something you do so it won't ever go out of control. Julius Caesar was known for saying that if you gave people a piece of bread and a spectacle you could do anything you wanted with them.<br />
<br />
Enter Barack Obama, unlike any President before him he tosses those with a nanny state mentality a pile of freebies, cuddles up with Hollywood moguls and celebs who keep us titillated and laughing and sits down to dinner with the kings of earth on the taxpayer's dime. His wife flourishes in her role as the queen of America, with TV appearances, worldwide trips and $3,000 per night stays in world-class hotels.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
At home DOMA has been dumped due to the dilettante 'evolved' morality of the president and every major guide and tradition has been abandoned for the whims of man with no known accomplishments to his credit and over twenty hidden and never seen documents about his past.<br />
<br />
The Bible, the constitution and 6,000 years of human adherence to the laws of nature and common sense regarding marriage have been dumped under the auspices of a single man who has promised a change that is now becoming the most defiant, divisive and destructive policy ever presented to any nation in history.<br />
<br />
What contribution has Barack Obama made to American greatness and her way of life on any level? Honesty would convulse if we named any area at all &ndash; but one. The prurient, perverted lifestyle and practices of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender population is the only thing noticeably promoted in the first and second term of Barack Obama.<br />
<br />
It is Barack Obama's unique and particular brand of evil, and yet it is being presented as a great win for civil rights. It is dragged up and paraded as something akin to the great civil rights struggle of the blacks. At the very least, it is touted as the means by which Obama has streamlined America and brought her into the twenty first century.<br />
<br />
The path to a nation's demise and doom has been well catered or pimped depending on your view, but a confetti strewn floor and a few straggling balloons, once the party is over, will hardly be an answer for a nation whose greatness was the most remarkable accomplishment of civil government in the history of the world.<br />
<br />
When Obama announced he would not defend DOMA, the courts were weakened and on the fortieth year of the inception of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court made its second worst decision in the nation's history.<br />
<br />
&hellip;<br />
<br />
The world mocks those who proclaim that antichrist will soon emerge and reign for the last few years of time before the Lord Jesus Christ returns and takes the reins of power away from men. Yet, we have a man said to be the leader of the free world doing everything to prepare the way for such a man.<br />
<br />
Yes, the rest of the world is also chomping at the bit to enter the changes that Barack Obama is proposing here in the U.S. To those who understand prophecy that is only proof that the stage is being set for the coming the 'Man of Sin.' (2Th 2: 3)<br />
<br />
Will it be the free for all of the LGBT with parades and open shows in media and public, or the dark portent of Sharia law where women are entombed in black potato sacks and reduced to the social level of cattle? Will America be a nation ruled by a political party led by Jihadists or a big party put on by the LGBT. Will the Muslims bring Sharia to Hollywood first to cover up the nudies and thus end the excesses virtually overnight? Which confusion will emerge to take us into the twenty first?</blockquote>

<p>On his <a href="http://www.oneplace.com/ministries/family-talk/custom-player/traditional-marriage-still-worth-defending-351570.html">radio show</a> today, Focus on the Family founder James Dobson discussed the Supreme Court&rsquo;s marriage equality rulings with Family Research Council president Tony Perkins and Bill Becker, an attorney affiliated with right-wing groups such as the Alliance Defense Fund and the Discovery Institute.</p>
<p>As you could imagine, Dobson was aghast at the decisions, arguing that same-sex marriages &ldquo;threaten the entire superstructure&rdquo; of society. &ldquo;I believe it can come down,&rdquo; Dobson warned. &ldquo;This has been devastating. Even if eventually legally we somehow walk it back a bit, I don&rsquo;t see our ever completely recovering from what has happened here.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Becker went even further, saying that civilization crumbled the day the court released its rulings: &ldquo;We&rsquo;re talking here about the foundation of civilization and I wrote today that I believe we&rsquo;ve seen the collapse of Western civilization in one day.&rdquo;</p>
